"Breaking Bad" Being Remade for Latin American Audiences

Sony Pictures has announced that it will remake its "Breaking Bad" TV Series for Latin American audiences. Called "Metastasis," the show will be available in most major Spanish-speaking markets.

"Metastasis" follows the story of an unassuming chemistry teacher who is given a fatal diagnosis and enters a world of drugs and crime, where he ascends to power. The cast includes Diego Trujillo (El Capo) as Walter Blanco; Roberto Urbina (Che: Part 1) as Walter's accomplice, Jose Miguel Rosas; Sandra Reyes (El Cartel) as Walter's wife, Cielo; and Julian Arango (El Cartel) as Walter's brother-in-law and Colombian narcotics agent, Henry Navarro.

"Critics and audiences love 'Breaking Bad' and its original take on the drug dealing business," said Sony. "It is a very relevant story for all audiences, produced with the highest standards, in spectacular locations with the best talent in the region."
